Thanks Smile n Me for update - and Mod 1 on other thread. Very sad and a horrible way to die. Thankfully the other person is improving (they say).

The clinic is defending their infectious control and hygiene practices yet the official word is Hendra is not easily passed from horse to human..?? Can't have it both ways. Unless direct from the bats of course...
